KickStarter ATOM RPG - Wasteland Soviet style! - now with Dead City update

[Sheepherder]

for people who have played more of it, what stats are dump stats?

Depending on the build it can be Luck, if you don't want a crit build.
Personality, you'll lose out on very few minor quests (find the buddy of the moonshiner, find the cook of the mountain inn, maybe more) and some dialogue.
Attention for melee builds, some missed dialogue.
Dex for rifle builds, as the best one in 0.9 only took 6 or 7 AP (can't remeber for sure) to fire so 2 or 4 DEX was enough.
STR for machinegun builds as they get a perk which removes STR requirements for weapons.
Endurance of 5 is plenty.
Intelligence is p. great.

There are 3 ways to increse your stats btw. +1 to any stat from serum, +1 to any stat from golden fish in the first village (needs high luck and lot's of time) and +1 to luck only from totem in rumbling forest. There's also a +1 STR helm, a +1 luck/-1 personality clown nose which doesn't take up a helm slot.

Amazingly you can't dump charisma.

 

[Invictus]

I really want to play this over the weekend, sounds exactly the mix between Fallout and Stalker that I love but simply cannot get that Steam Spyware shit on my laptop... pretty please GOG release?
Don’t want to pirate this

All depend what kind of char you create Comrade, But if you play as pistolero/SMG man or gal you don't need STR above 5 (4 with veteran outfit) if you plan to be brawler you can lower CHA, PER and INT and so on. But there is no stat will can you put below 4 and not suffer the consequences later as all are used in dialogues and during fights. Its better to check weapon list from wikia choose one you will want to use and build your toon to use one.

You can there are plenty of dialogues checks which us STR instead of CHA and Speech Craft. But... Don't be surprised you will be treated as pariah with ugly mug and Guardsman Jurgen BO. Lower your Luck to one 1 and live with consequences of not being able to craft, steal or open lock etc... Pick too low PER you wont be able to no only hit target but also you will miss tons of extra info and quests, etc... Its very realistic system with real life like choices and consequences.

 

[Urthor]

Maybe all 5s is just the optimal build for once...

There's a 6 STR pistol tho. Pistols are trash btw.

Like any other fallout game,pump int for skillz and then the one for your chosen combat. I went with 10 int and 5 in everything else.

Pistols have lower damage but ammo is cheaper and much easier to find.... and sure there are SMGs with STR6 requirements which are better but but you are able to raise your stats later a bit. At the start i would advice against using broomsticks anyway and use your knife cause ammo at the beginning of game is really scarce.

Spoiler

There is talent tree for rifles which give you night vision and also witcher like damage bonus to animals. High Perception used with riffles and shotguns open also ton of optional quests and content.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

guise how is this? whats the KKKonsensus?

is it worth playing?

 

[SkiNNyBane]

1 Luck 1 Personality.
10 Int 10 Attention.

Seems I am rping your avg codex autist.

It's a pistol, not an smg. High caliber, one shot. You can pick it up if a friendly NPC dies during one of the quests.
Ammo isn't really an issue. There are infinite caravans to buy ammo from and infinite bandits to loot.

10 Int

 

[Roguey]

I have only a measly 26 in lockpick, and have been pretty much repeatedly bruteforcing my way through every lock so far.

Randomized checks.

Fallout had the rare critical failure, but it was no big deal since you could either reload or wait something like a day for it to reset (a bigger deal in Fallout pre-returned water chip than Fallout 2, certainly).

 

[Lhynn]

I went with 9 str 6 end 10 agi 11 int 1 atte 4 luk and 4 per.

Melee oriented and doing well so far.
I'll probably pump the agi to 11 then see what's what.

I was considering something like this back when I played it in EA

I spent about 30 minutes staring at the character create screen but couldn't decide on what my stats should be so I closed the game

 

[Doktor Best]

I created a char and named him Fidel. The game starts and the very first mission i get is to find and contact a guy named Fidel.

Time to reroll

Is there some way to change the camera movement speed by the way? Its a little too fast for my taste.

 

[Elim]

Enjoying it so far. The game feels crisp, responsive and clean.
Went with 5,4,6,8,8,9,3.

 

[Black Angel]

Sad that you can't see the hotkeys in-game, nor rebind it, but

Not sure if it has been posted before, but there you go. I found it on Steam guide

 

[fantadomat]

Fuck that shit,it overheated by GPU. I will have to wait till tomorrow to clean it up. Ohhh well,at least i will get drunk tonight.

 

[Kem0sabe]

The plot thickens with that whore who didn't have a problem making her husband a cuck.

So, the guard at the other gate confesses that he has a stirring in his loins when he sees the oddly silent and covered with a scarf guard that is usually stationed at the northern gate, and wants me to reassure him that wanting to fuck another man is not gay. I proceed to inform him that that face covered guard is actually a women. He is all relieved that he's not actually gay... or is he?

 

[AdolfSatan]

Holy Satan, I don't recall when was the last time I spent so many hours in front of a screen.

To all codexers who, like me, were afraid about the amount of references and memeing: worry not. While there certainly is an abundance, it's nothing jarring.
Most of the time it's put in a way that's fitting to the setting; you'll get called a normie by mutated circus freaks, or discuss Shakespeare with one of them, provided your character can pass a skill check. At the very worst, it feels like a snobby way of showing off by the writers, but nothing too bad.

 

[Lhynn]

I love the fucking portraits I'm this game. At work and can't think of anything but starting the game as soon as I get home.

They can be a little on the nose. Take the circus for example, they have an npc there whose portrait is of the actor who plays the iron fist on netflix, making jokes about the iron fist, not funny and off putting to be honest.

 

[AdolfSatan]

Oh well, I wouldn't know because I'm not a fucking plebeian to go around watching series on netflix, so thankfully that one went over my head.
